I thought it was hilarious on Mad Men when a character tried to asphyxiate himself in a Jaguar and it wouldn’t start.

I never saw James Bond as the bad guy, but to each their own.

Goldfinger. Connery.
Bond rapes Pussy Galore and he's such a man that she falls for him and joins his side.
Actual rape.
